Mumford & Sons

As well as a top slot at Glasto, Mumford & Sons will be stopping off to headline at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on July 6 as part of their 'Summer Stampede' tour. Joining them for the night will be Vampire Weekend, Ben Howard, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and HAIM.

Rolling Stones

July 6 & 13, Hyde Park

UPDATE: The Rolling Stones have added another London date to their 50 And Counting tour, playing Hyde Park on Saturday July 13. The band will also be performing a sold out show in Hyde Park on July 6 as part of the Barclaycard British Summer Time series. This is the first time the band have played this venue since their historic gig there in 1969.

Yoko Ono's Meltdown

June 14-23, Southbank Centre

The line-up iconic artist, musician and activist Yoko Ono has put together for Meltdown features a range of American, British and Japanese counter culture legends, many of whom Ono has collaborated with in the past, including Patti Smith, Iggy & The Stooges, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Marianne Faithfull, Siouxsie Sioux, Cibo Matto, Thurston Moore and Boy George. The festival will kick of with a performance from the Plastic Ono Band and end with John Lennon and Yoko Ono's final album Double Fantasy played live with special guests.

The National

November 13, Alexandra Palace

These Ohio-born indie rockers with emotional clout have announced a new tour which will stop off in London at the Ally Pally this November. Their devoted fanbase have had to wait almost three years for this moment — their last London gig was in December 2013. It might seem a long time until November, but their new album Trouble Will Find Me is released in May.

Tickets on preview sale at 9am on Thurs Apr 11 and general sale at 9am on Sat Apr 13, americanmary.com

Frank Ocean

July 9, Brixton Academy

Hip hop's breakout star Frank Ocean brings his soulful RnB vocals to the O2 Brixton Academy on July 9 for what will be his biggest ever European gig and his first London date since November 2012. Tickets to hear the seductive, languid tones of Ocean, who is also a member of Odd Future, are guaranteed to sell out fast.

Summer Series at Somerset House

July 11-21, Somerset House

The annual string of evening concerts set in Somerset House's opulent courtyard returns with a line-up that mixes hot newcomers such as Tom Odell, Jessie Ware and Of Monsters And Men, with appearances from reliable old hands Richard Hawley, Goldfrapp and Basement Jaxx, plus Lianne La Havas, First Aid Kit, Band Of Horses, Alex Clare and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake

July 14, Wireless at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Jay-Z and JT join forces to co-headline the newly announced Sunday night line-up of Wireless, which is kind of annoying if you'd already bought tickets for both of their solo headline slots on the Friday and Saturday. Support comes from A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, A$AP Rocky and Rizzle Kicks.

Hard Rock Calling

June 29-30, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Though it's less hard more easy listening these days, the two-day festival still summons some of the biggest names in rock to cross axes in a London park. Famously, last year, organisers cut off Bruce Springsteen's mammoth set after he and guest performer Paul McCartney broke the venue's sound curfew. So perhaps it's no surprise that the festival has jumped ship from its usual home, Hyde Park, to the Olympic Park in Stratford, from which it's much easier to make a racket without deafening central London. This year sees US and UK rock titans going head to head: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Bandreturn to "finish what they started" on Sunday (ho ho), with support from The Black Crowes and Alabama Shakes, while Saturday represents for the Brits with Kasabian, Paul Weller, Miles Kane, Kodaline, The Cribs, Klaxons and Tribes.
